    Zomby, by pretty much every UK writers opinion, is the definitive writer embodiment of dedication and attitude. from his early years of ruthless London paint punishing, to train top to bottoms, collaborations, forming two of the most infamous graffiti organisations (KTC & DDS) which then lead to a new era of London graffiti style which took Graffiti in a direction all of its own. And now with his Graffiti store Chrome & Black, Zomby/Rate DDS is one of the active, longstanding kings of UK Graff known internationally. Rarely giving time for interviews or chats, this is a rare and one off piece of history.

    Zom is the undisputed king of London. The guy was the link between the older boys and the DDS younger that come through in 95/96.
    This guy was killing it as rate and fiza before way before DDS.
    In terms of suggestions.. Try bring Oker GSD on. He is one of the most undernamed artists in London..
    He doesn't get the recognition just because he wasn't DDS or PFB and wasnt from London... Can't forget that guy has been absolutely smashing longer than anyone else in London.

      I respected Oker and loved his work growing up, but his recent antics have really made me (and most of London) lose respect for him. The guy is not right in the head and he has turned against most London writers. He now has no friends except a couple of shit writers who think they're hard.
      Tbh I shouldn't even be writing Okers name on a zomby video... Its disrespectful to zomby (true King of London)

    Sub, Diet, Bosh, Figs, Teach, Fume, Rate, Zombie, Cos & Tox were all writers I looked up to from 92/3 onwards. Another legend was Sham 59, from DTB. TKS (Total Kaos), DDS (Diabolical Dubstars), PFB (Pure Fire Bombers) & DTB (Drop The Bomb) were the crews everyone wanted to be a part of.

    I Loved this interview Zombies work is beautiful one of the best. I have to say in my humble opinion Fume was the best though in DDS. I grew up in west London and seeing Fume, Teach, Zomby, Touch, Plug, Cosa, is really nostalgic. It would be awesome to get Fume on this show.

    LOL at Steas! 23:01 I remember when I was 17 years old in 2002 me and my best friend Eaz / Kong (RIP) bought paint from Steas and met him at some tube station somewhere (I think Old St) and he came on his bike with a bag full of tins and we ended up talking behind the back of some dive bar for like an hour. At the time we were terrified from hearing stories of DDS and were paranoid we would get robbed based on all the stories we had heard. Lolol. But Steas was proper cool and nothing like that ever happened. Good days!
